There was a knock on her door. Black Chess Piece groaned. She didn't feel like doing other people's dirty business.

Black Chess Piece is an assassin. People would come to her for "dealing" with people. She put on her signature scarf and came to the door. "What?" She swings open the door. On the other end, her best friend, Goldy, who was another assassin, was on the other side. "Goldy? What're you doing here? You know you can just deal with others yourself, right?"

Goldy sighs. "Look, Queen, this isn't about being an assassin. It's about being the bearer of bad news." Chess Piece frowns.

"What is this bad news then?"

Goldy looks away. Her scarf flows with the wind in the air. "Follow me." Goldy says.

Chess Piece looks at her suspiciously. "Why?"

Goldy's voice breaks. "Damnit just follow me." Goldy sniffles. "Saying the bad news out loud makes me sick to my stomach." There are tears in her eyes.

Chess Piece looks away. She grabs her katana, which stands next to the door. "Ok. Show me the way."

Goldy leads her into the forest. After some time, they reach a tiny clearing in the forest where sun shines down upon the spot. It was where Goldy and Chess Piece first met.

It was rainy that day. They were both on their way to do some business. Then they ran into each other. They both stared at each other, studying each other. Nobody said anything. Goldy perfectly threw a business card in between both of them. Then Goldy ran away. Chess Piece picked up the card. She contacted Goldy after she had dealt her business, and they met up. That's when they became friends.

The emptiness that used to be here was now filled up, by one singular grave. Somebody died. Goldy was kneeling down on the floor, quietly weeping. Chess Piece looked from her to the grave. The grave didn't have any words on it.

Chess Piece laid down her katana, and walked to the center, where the grave stood.

A singular rose was above the spot, with a shovel leaning on the grave. Chess Piece picked up the shovel. She started digging through until a wooden coffin was there. It had taken her about an hour to dig the whole thing up.

Goldy now stood by her, holding onto Chess Piece's arm. She sniffled, looking down at the coffin. Goldy looked away. She didn't want to see him again.

Black Chess Piece removed Goldy's arm from hers. She knelt down, and unclipped the coffin's locks. She slowly opened the coffin door.

When she saw him, her eyes couldn't believe it. Her body started shaking. Goldy was now on the floor, sobbing wildly.

His body still had dried blood. There was a joke in his chest. Part of his right arm was gone. Dried blood spilled from his mouth. His leg had an open cut. He was rotting.

It was her son. Black Chess Piece's son.

Chess Piece looked back at Goldy. She looked away from the coffin, still crying.

No.

It was their son.

A while back, Goldy and Black Chess Piece came across a kid. They were both working together to do a job that was commissioned for them.

When they found the two people, they had a kid that was held captive. They saved that kid. They took him in, they both were parents to him. They taught him everything. They used every ounce of love they had and put it towards him. He was their light.

It was the most fun time of their lives. The best part is that they didn't have to kill to survive. They could become civil human beings.

When he turned 18, he left their care to pursue his dream of being an actor for the theater. But now he was gone.

Chess Piece slowly stood up, her body shaking uncontrollably. She knelt down to Goldy, who was in a ball crumpled down on the floor.

Chess Piece hugged her back. They both needed this. Now Chess Piece sobbed with Goldy.

After a bit, Chess Piece spoke in a hushed whisper. "Goldy.." She didn't speak for two seconds. "Whoever did this.." She hugged Goldy tighter. "I will. I WILL find them. And I will get revenge. For all of us."

The boy's name?

Paper Towel.
